Soulless and basic

This is a soulless place in the campus. No customers about and one staff member. Food service not open and bar in darkness. The rooms are clinical and basic.

Overnight business stop

Situated on the university campus so in effect another student block.Rooms are exactly that but more spacious. Very clean and all you need for an overnight stay. Functional as opposed to anything else. Bed not too comfortable but again clean and ok for a night. Parking on the other side of the next block so very short walk away but the campus felt secure. No hot food on-site for breakfast but available in a student facility a few yards away. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful.

Basic university campus hotel

Booked this hotel whilst visiting the University of Northampton open day as it is located right on campus. It wasn't clear where to park and had to be directed by campus security. The hotel is quite modern but lacks atmosphere. We didn't see any other guests during our stay. The complimentary drink on arrival was nice. Breakfast is canteen style in the building opposite. For the price charged, I found the experience very basic.
